Baseball Recap: Calhan Comes Up Short

Calhan had lost four straight at home, but on Saturday they dropped down to 4-16 to make it five. They lost 10-0 to the Peyton Panthers. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Panthers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 15-0 on Saturday.

Calhan saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Josh Aguilar, who went 1-for-2 with one double.

As for Peyton, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 13 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.9 runs on average over those games.

On Peyton's side, Zayden Ebbert was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Ebbert has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one run and one double.

In other batting news, Bryce Love and Trent Gregg did most of the damage at the plate: Love got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI, while Gregg went a perfect 3-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. Love is becoming a predictor of Peyton's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 15-2 (and 1-3 when he doesn't). Tai Kapu was another key player, going 1-for-2 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.

As of now, neither Calhan nor Peyton have any future games scheduled.
